Automatic Question Pattern Generation for Ontology-based Question Answering
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an automatic question pattern generation method for ontology-based question answering with the use of textual entailment. In this method, a set of question patterns, called predictive questions, which are predicted to be asked by users in a domain, were generated on the basis of a domain ontology. Their corresponding query templates, which can be used to extract answers to the predictive questions from a knowledge base, were generated as well. The process of producing these question patterns and query templates is described and discussed in the context of the “Movies & Cinemas” domain. An evaluation was carried out to assess the quality of the generated question patterns with the help of a textual entailment engine.

Owing to the Chinese natural language complexity and processing technical limitations, there is still no mature Chinese QA system exp...
متن کاملInvestigating Embedded Question Reuse in Question Answering
The investigation presented in this paper is a novel method in question answering (QA) that enables a QA system to gain performance through reuse of information in the answer to one question to answer another related question. Our analysis shows that a pair of question in a general open domain QA can have embedding relation through their mentions of noun phrase expressions. We present methods f...
متن کاملRepresenting and resolving ambiguities in ontology-based question answering
Ambiguities are ubiquitous in natural language and pose a major challenge for the automatic interpretation of natural language expressions. In this paper we focus on different types of lexical ambiguities that play a role in the context of ontology-based question answering, and explore strategies for capturing and resolving them. We show that by employing underspecification techniques and by us...

Approach: This paper surveys different types of question answerin...
متن کاملToward Automatic Answers in User-Interactive Question Answering Systems
A strategy of automatic answer retrieval for repeated or similar questions in user-interactive systems by employing semantic question patterns is proposed in this paper. The used semantic question pattern is a generalized representation of a group of questions with both similar structure and relevant semantics. Specifically, it consists of semantic annotations (or constraints) for the variable ...
